To be sure our friends, on all sides, fell off, and those especially who wished us to be silent on the question of woman's rights, declared "the cause too sacred to be advocated by such a charlatan as George Francis Train." We thought otherwise, as the accession of Mr.Train increased the agitation twofold.

If these fastidious ladies and gentlemen had come out to Kansas and occupied the ground and provided "the sinews of war," there would have been no field for Mr.Train's labors, and we should have accepted their services.

But, as the ground was unoccupied, he had, at least, the right of a reform "squatter" to cultivate the cardinal virtues and reap a moral harvest wherever he could.
Reaching New York, Mr.Train made it possible for us to establish a newspaper, which gave another impetus to our movement.

The _Revolution_, published by Susan B.Anthony and edited by Parker Pillsbury and myself, lived two years and a half and was then consolidated with the New York _Christian Enquirer_, edited by the Rev.Henry Bellows, D.D.I regard the brief period in which I edited the _Revolution_ as one of the happiest of my life, and I may add the most useful.

In looking over the editorials I find but one that I sincerely regret, and that was a retort on Mr.Garrison, written under great provocation, but not by me, which circumstances, at the time, forbade me to disown.
